This book was really fun and I enjoyed it A LOT. However, the “thriller” aspect felt like an after thought tacked onto the end and I think I would have enjoyed it more without that portion. 

The book really didn’t even get rolling until there was only like 40 pages left and everything happened SO QUICKLY. Nothing was fleshed out and it felt so disjointed. Like it was an entirely different book I’d just stumbled into. 

First like 70% was 5 stars. The ending was like 1 star. So here we are at a 4.

I finished this book in 24 hours, only putting it down when I absolutely had to. Something about Rachel Hawkins’ writing made me keep writing. I loved the character development, however the format was tricky at first and I was confused about the flashbacks in the beginning. I loved this book, and have already recommended it to friends.

A mediocre book, in my opinion. Not great but not bad, either! I enjoyed parts of it but then felt like a lot of the book was filler and not necessary. There was a nice twist at the end, though!
